BENTLE Shares New Single “Darkest Blue”
BENTLE — the project of New York-based Australian artist Josh McVey — returns today with his new single, “Darkest Blue.” Simmering with hypnotic pop production, wavy synths and soulful vocals, “Darkest Blue” is an emotive and instantly captivating listen.
BENTLE elaborates on the inspiration behind the new song: “‘Darkest Blue’ is very much about the connection between color, texture and circumstance. There’s been a few times over the past year where it feels like I’m not able to stop myself from sinking or falling into a certain state of mind or state of being. ‘Darkest Blue’ is kind of an exploration of that falling sinking feeling and what it would feel like if I explored it…the visual I had when writing the song was that I fell into the night sky (which was scary and unknown) but I woke up in this ethereal new environment where, though it was still unknown, it was equally intriguing and enlightening.”
Josh McVey (aka BENTLE) is a singer, songwriter and producer originally hailing from Brisbane, Australia and now living in New York City. Producing and writing all of his own material, he delivers glowing indie-pop tunes packed with reflective and introspective lyricism.
